Population justification: The global population is estimated to number 17 million mature individuals (Partners in Flight 2019).
Trend justification: The species is undergoing a moderate decline (Partners in Flight 2019; Rosenberg et al. 2019). Short-term trends are suggesting that the population has been declining at a rate of 5% over the past ten years (Pardieck et al. 2018).
